sorry homeslice but bruce nomura of nomura tuning has done this quite some time ago with the exact same silver in the middle and painted all the other covers a nice semi glossy black and his custom designed intake and air box cover all done in the same grey as the eng cover really looks sweet but i opted for all custom done carbon fiber

the chrome "L" should pop out from the other side...paint it and just pop the "L" back in...good luck, post pics when doen,....i like the light silver cus it matches up the engine that shows through that opening...also the intake comes in that same silver, but u should try 2 find some black or blue hose connecters and cuplings cus tha red will clash with the blue, i had 2 find blue one 2 do the same...
